Wacraft 3 and its Expansion both tried somthing alil' different from most other RTS games. They threw alil' RPG in them. With the ability to create and role play (with the expansion) up to 4 different heroes per race, and then maybe an added one there after from the mercanary set; you can try your luck by fighting RPG vs RTS. Warcraft 3 has got a great Story line, it nearly rivals SC potential but the game's over all cartoony feel that Blizzard has given the series ever since Warcraft 2 has slowly sort of, created a sort of dislike for the series in my taste. I dont really prefer the Cartoon-ness the game feels and its even more evident with this installment. The game features everything from humorous and sometimes childish Voice Acting (its all good though!) to Fruity Pebble Colors for the world you play in. The models look like **** detial wise cos Blizzard designed them so low poly. Not a bad thing to do but in'a game where you can zoom in close enough to see the colors of a troop's iris its horribly noticable that the kilt on the Footman is rather card board looking. The textures on this game are simply insane though. Think of that comment i just made... you can see the colors of the iris... Hell yes you can! On a RTS GAME no doubt! Dude, there is even a Pupil! and a lil reflection glint on the eyes too! btw, the footman has Blue Eyes XD. anywey... Yes the Textures on this game rock! It also features awsome partical effects and bad *** spell animations. Blood however is ... dumb looking. thats about it... and the Partical Effects for fire looks like some Indian is blowing circles from his pipe; just in different colors. Its pretty lame. Animations are detialed but at times some what chunky. They are how ever very very lively. Music wise the tracks dont match the thills you got from SC or from WC2. The tracks sound sort of idle but they do fit the universes Cartoony Gritty Universe theme instead of just being a bunch of up beat fanfares. The Night Elves have the best tracks in my opinion.
The BEST thing about this game is its World Editor. The Editor is simply insanely moddable. its a great foundatoin for any beginner modder and game creator. The System is SO useful that they are remaking Starcraft in its accurate form using the WC3 engine. Hell some of us have even made a flight simulator with the game in the star wars theme! ... okay maybe there was no altitude, But you were still throttling around at full speed dodging blaster fire!
WC3 X is more noted with its similiar cult following of the likes of SC and its map Editor which has spawned prolly the greatest modding communities ever with WC3 Campaigns and WC3search. Look for this title if your a strict RTS gamer. Other wise, you'll end up picking it up anyweys. I've gotten so many Foot Ball Varsity jocks hooked on this game its not even funny.
